OCALA, Fla. - Several people suffered minor injuries in three separate crashes that happened minutes within one another in Ocala.

The first crash involved two vehicles in the intersection of Southeast 17^th Street and Southeast 18^th Avenue. The crash caused an SUV to flip, and firefighters had to use a Jaws of Life-like device to remove the driver.

Crews said the driver was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The two occupants of the other vehicle involved were treated at the scene.

While firefighters were working the scene, two other vehicle collisions happened, one along  Southeast 18^th Avenue, and the other in the 2200 block of Southeast 17^th Street.

Neither collision resulted in serious injuries.
